Thread Name: BS: A Fitting Tribute to a Great Leader
Subject: RE: BS: A Fitting Tribute to a Great Leader
Throw in an illegal war waged by a President after Congress said "No", the many calls for Reagun's impeachment over it, the "Death Squads" in Guatemala and Salvador and I'm wondering just which Ronald Reagan all these folks are now waiting in line to worship. He was totally fiscally irresponsible.

I was wroking for the Department of Social Services during the Reagan years I was on the front lines working with the menatloly ill and the eldery poor. Title XX funds were cut to the bone and then some... I saw the suffering... Yeah, Reagan could sure get all weepy eyed about some gunner in WWII just so long as the dtory followed a familiar script. Problem is that real human suffering from his deep cuts in socail services just didn't faze hi at all. He was aloof to the real world...

And now the Repubs are busy trying to mold the current president into the Reagan mold. Well, when it come to a deep *dis*compassion for the working class and the working poor the current guy certainly keep up with Reagan's, no doubt about it...
